Abstract:
A quadrature demodulator generates an I-signal from a modulated reception signal and a local signal, generates a Q-signal from the local signal and the local signal having a phase shifted through 90 degrees. Capacitors remove DC components from the I- and Q-signals. Low-pass filters remove frequency components higher than the frequencies of the I- and Q-signals. An I-signal squaring section squares the I-signal having passed through the low-pass filters. A Q-signal squaring section squares the Q-signal having passed through the low-pass filters. An adding section adds the squared I-signal and the squared Q-signal together. A comparator then compares the level of an S1 signal resulting from the addition with a threshold to obtain an S2 signal. A data generating section of a digital signal processing section executes a process of inverting the signal level of the S2 signal at every rising edge of the S2 signal to demodulate reception data.
